How good does the Isight work?

Hi,
I was watching the video on the homepage of apples website. Where steve jobs talks about the new products, he talks about the imac with isight built in. Does the isight work that smooth, if someone is in another state, if you both have a cable connection? i have a powerbook, and I would like to get a isight.
Thanks

It all depends on your connection. I've gotten good video connection, nothing as good as the demonstration tho. If I had to bet, the connection that Steve was working on was an internal or some speedy internet connection like a T3 or something. For the average person with good broadband connection, the video outperforms anything else I have used with a PC.

    As you might imagine, without knowing a ton of information about the actual construction of the walls and ceiling of your home.....how many walls and other obstructions would be in the signal path of each device.....and the distance between each device and the AirPort Express.....along with how many users would be online at one time or another and what activities they would be involved in......etc., it's really not possible to accurately predict what type of results you might achieve.
    The bottom line with any wireless installation is that you really won't know how effectively it will actually perform until you try it.
    My opinion would be that you will likely need to add an additonal AirPort Express to "extend" the wireless more effectively to the bottom floor. But again, the same things apply as above.

  • How well does the MBP work for gameplay?

    Now I know what you're thinking. If I'm solely looking for a gaming computer than I should get a computer solely for gaming, but this is not the case. I would just simply like to play World of Warcraft occasionally. The game is pretty intensive. I'm willing to upgrade the ram to 8gb, but that won't really drastically change the gameplay. How good is the gamecard that comes with it or should I upgrade it? If I can even upgrade it. What's the fps? All that stuff. Thanks in advance.

    Hi Jesse,
    I'm thinking you might have posted this question in the wrong forum. This is the MacBook Air forum, in your title you ask about the MBP and in your question you ask about going to 8GB of RAM. The MacBook Air does not support upgrading the RAM, maximum of 4GB. In addition the MacBook Air is commonly abreviated as MBA.
    If there's been a mix up and you're legitimately asking about the Air, here's my impressions of it -
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/15682909#15682909
    For what it's worth, the GPU in the 13" MBP is identical to the one in the 11" & 13" MBA. Although the 11" MBA allocates slightly less system RAM.
    World of Warcraft, as you know, can run reliably on some pretty old machines. It definitely runs just fine on the Intel HD 3000, in the fair-to-good category. I can't say I was thrilled with the performance in a 25-man Firelands raid last week but it's acceptable.

  • How well does the TomTom app work?

    Let's hear it, how well does the TomTom app work compared to a dedicated GPS device? Are you using TomTom's special cat kit? Is there a way to load TomTom binary files (POIs) onto the iphone?

    I have used a Garmin Nuvi760 for about 2 years and have been very pleased. When TomTom had a sale for $50 and now seems to be $60, I bought it. I also bought a kensington car mount. (http://us.kensington.com/html/17546.html). I like it. with my 3GS, there is no need for the amplified TomTom car kit. The speech quality could be better but it's loud enough. I do like the on screen presentations a bit more than my Garmin. I'm still getting used to the interface. It's a real good thing that I can use my contacts file to set destinations. My next step is to go on an 800 mile trip this month and compare the two systems side by side. So far, TomTom has not always made the best route choice and once sent me to the right address in an adjoining city. (This is southern Cal) Not good, but these are map issues which will always be evolving. Is it worth it? Yes. At $100, maybe. The good thing is that my phone is always with me and so is my GPS. I does put a drain on the battery, so it should be on charging while using in a car.

  • KPI -How does the periodicity works in SM

    Periodicity is @ Context level only? That means we have to define different contexts for weekly &monthly? That doesnu2019t fly good
    How does the periodicity works in SM..data entry as well as frontend display?

    Hi TR,
    When looking at a scorecard, you should see the status for all objectives and KPIs during the same time period. If you look at Revenue KPIs for just one week and Cost KPIs for the whole month, how can you assess how you performed in that month?
    This doesn't mean that the metrics in PAS cannot have different periodicities. They can! But when looking at data in the scorecard these periodicities will be converted to the scorecard periodicity. For example if you have monthly metrics and you are looking at scorecard data quarterly, the scorecard will show you the value for the 3 months of that quarter. Here, you should take care to define the proper time consolidation properties for the metric (it can be SUM, like in costs or revenue, AVERAGE, LAST, FIRST...).
    Likewise, if you have quarterly metrics and you want to see scorecard data monthly, then PAS does a breakdown of the value per months.
    Anyway, if you are looking to setup a weekly scorecard, that will likely include a different set of metrics that a monthly scorecard would. Weekly scorecards will problably include more operational metrics and will lack the strategic focus of scorecards with a broader time scope.
    Regards!

    To add to sig's reply, "calibrating" does not calibrate Lithiu-Ion batteries, it calibrates the charge reporting circuitry.  If you look at the effect of deep discharging Lithium-Ion batteries in the data from the independent test group, Battery University, you will see that doing so shortens the life of the battery significantly. It looks like an optimum balance between use and life is at a discharge level of 50%.

  • How exactly does the new iCloud accessing feature work?

    I have heard that the new firmware allows access to any hard drives connected to an AirPort through iCloud.
    How exactly does this feature work? Will the files be accessible on the web? Will I be able to mount the hard drive remotely if my computer is logged in with the same iCloud account?
    Please clarify, as I am considering buying now.

    The "magic" behind iCloud for accessing either your AirPort Extreme/Time Capsule or your Mac from the Internet is Back to My Mac (BtMM). For reference, iCloud replaced MobileMe.
    Here are a few links for more details around BtMM:

  • Transfer Rules: How does the mapping work?

    Transfer Rules: How does the mapping work?
    Is there a document out there that explains the following or can someone help clarify it for me. I have some confusion on what is really going on.
    When I create an InfoSource (IS_Test)  as a “Flexible update…”  and then “Assign DataSource”  (DS_Test) and I respond Yes, to the message “DataSource assignment DS_Test to InfoSource IS_Test Save”
    a) <b>Under “Transfer_Structure/Transfer_Rules”</b> in the InfoSource
    1)  the “Transfer Rules” tab, what are the fields found in the right column (Assigned InfObjct-field)? And where do the fields you enter in the left column (<b>Communication Str/</b>Transfer rules) eventually go?
    2)  the “DataSource /Trans. Structure” tab, can I always assume that all the fields in the right column (DataSource) came from DS_Test? The left column (Transfer Structure), in my test was exactly the same as on the right. Where do these fields eventually go?
    b) Under “<b>Communication_Struct.”,</b> in the InfoSource
    3. the right column (ISource Fileds) where from those InfoObjects. if I am now creating my InfoSource. Where did they come from?
    4. The left column is “<b>Communication Structure</b>”, which at this point has no InfoObjects, if I move a couple of InfoObjects from the right to the left, where do these Objects in the left eventually go?
    5. what is the relationship between the “Communication Structure” in 4 and 1? Or any relationship between a) and b) as a whole?
    Thanks.

    Hi Caud,
    As Ashish pointed out, communication structure contains fields (infoobjects) that suppose to go to data targets. Which IO in CS to which IO in the data target will go (and what transformation of data may occur) is determined in URs of the data target.
    The transfer structure is the structure in which the data is transported from the source system into BW:
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_bw33/helpdata/en/3f/0e503c3c0d563de10000000a114084/frameset.htm
    In “Transfer_Structure/Transfer_Rules” in the IS, DataSource /Trans. Structure” tab, right part shows fields in the Datasource, the left part – fields in the transfer structure. There is also a transfer structure in R/3 for a given DS. Transfer structure in BW is created identical to the TS in R/3 during TRs activation.
    During data load data are transferred 1:1 from TS in R/3 to TS in BW.
    TS in BW corresponds to the PSA table structure.
    How data from PSA are transferred to the CS is determined in TRs.   
    The 3rd column (“Field”) (“Transfer Rules” tab, right part (Assigned InfObjct-field)), contains field names of the DS (TS); and the 1st column shows IO in the CS to which the DS field will go. So, it’s a mapping DS filed -> CS field.
    The left part (“Communication str./Transfer rules”) is always identical to the CS content. But the 4th column (“Tp”) shows possible data transformation during transfer from PSA to CS. If this column contains a yellow triangle then there is no transformation (Value of DS field will go to value of CS field). If there is a red cross, it means that no data for this CS field is supplied from a DS. You can click on this yellow triangle and choose: 1). Another field from a DS; 2). Constant; 3). ABAP routine; 4). Formula. So, here you can determine the data transformation. Moreover, there is a possibility to create a start routine (blank sheet icon at the top).
    And finally, here are the answers on your questions:
    Q:
    a)     Under “Transfer_Structure/Transfer_Rules” in the InfoSource
    1) the “Transfer Rules” tab, what are the fields found in the right column (Assigned InfObjct-field)? And where do the fields you enter in the left column (Communication Str/Transfer rules) eventually go?
    A: Right part shows a mapping between DS and CS fields. Left part shows CS fields and data transformation (TRs) during data transfer from TS (PSA) to the CS. These are fields in the CS that will go to data target and which are fed from a TS (DS).
    Q: 2) the “DataSource /Trans. Structure” tab, can I always assume that all the fields in the right column (DataSource) came from DS_Test?
    A: Yes, you are right.
    Q: The left column (Transfer Structure), in my test was exactly the same as on the right. Where do these fields eventually go?
    A: As I described, left and right parts are identical. These fields will go to CS.
    Q: b) Under “Communication_Struct.”, in the InfoSource
    3. the right column (ISource Fileds) where from those InfoObjects. if I am now creating my InfoSource. Where did they come from?
    A: these are fields from an IS template, the name of this template you can see above this right part.  Actually, during IS (CS) creation you can choose different templates and choose fields from them transferring them into the left part.
    Q: 4. The left column is “Communication Structure”, which at this point has no InfoObjects, if I move a couple of InfoObjects from the right to the left, where do these Objects in the left eventually go?
    A: these are fields of CS (left part) and as I said before they will go to data target.
    Q: 5. what is the relationship between the “Communication Structure” in 4 and 1? Or any relationship between a) and b) as a whole?
    A: CS in 4 just shows IOs that will be transferred to data target. CS in 1 also shows how values for CS IOs are to be fed and transformed.

  • How well does the Logitech Ultrathin Touch Mouse work in a Multiboot system?

    After a couple of weeks with working with the Apple Magic Mouse in my Windows 8.1 Boot Camp environment, I have been unable to find a solution for the Slow Connection Times that I am experiencing.  Takes up to a minute before the AMM is able to connect and I can use in the Windows 8.1 system.  (Yes, Bluetooth Collaboration is Enabled.)  So I am now wondering if I need to look for a different mouse and return the Apple Magic Mouse.  Anyone have experience with using the Logitech Ultrathin Touch Mouse in both the MAC OSX and Windows 8.1 (under Boot Camp) environments.
    How quickly does the Logitech connect to bluetooth on the Windows 8.1 side?
    How much does the Logitech utilize the same gestures as in the Apple Magic Mouse in Mac OSX?
    Anyone use or own this Ultrathin Touch Mouse?

    Do you have a Mighty Mouse already? I don't think Apple sells the Mighty Mouse anymore.
    If you're looking at purchasing a new mouse from Apple, you'd be getting the Magic Mouse, which is a multi-touch capable mouse. It's a really great mouse; I use one with our 21.5" iMac all the time. Respectable battery life, and it tracks much nicer than our older (wired) Apple Pro Mouse. No lag, no interference, nothing with it. We have multiple cordless phones (including a base station about 18" from the mouse and computer) and there is never interference. It tracks as well or better than a wired mouse.

  • How does the KKBC_HOE work?

    I've been having discussions regarding the KKBC_HOE.  In particular how does the varient work.  We have a choice to chose several different variants and order statuses.  My question is if we are to capture the true target detail for the month what Order Statues are best suited to make that report. 
    For example what happens if we just choose DLV - Delvered and TECO - Technically complate orders?
    If we choose PDLV - Partially delivered does it update the Target hours. 
    I've searched all over the internet and cannot find a complete descriptive explanation of how exactly this report works.  I'm hoping someone can provide me with some guideance. I do know you have ro run the summarization job KKRV or KKRC as well as WIP and variance calcualtion before executing the KKBC_HOE. 
    I look forward to your input and help.
    Dan Goodhart

    Thanks for the replies.  What I have been able to determine from how we run our KKBC_HOE is that we run KKRC just for the current month.  Then we run KKBC_HOE for the current month.  The KKBC_HOE picks up all activity for the "actual" column that has occurred during that month.  But the Target column only get poppulated if the order is marked DLV or TECO. 
    To measure overall performance you really would need to run this report over several months.  Also, does anyone know if the target is taking the standard cost per unit X Planned order quantity or does it take Standard Cost X Actuall Quantity received?
    Although there is a Target line based on the actual number of cases received it seems like the rest of the report is based on the Order Planned amount.  I'm trying to figure out if we have all our switches set right for this report.
    Thanks for your feedback.

  • How long does the number porting process take?

    Hello Everybody! I just got my iphone (witch I LOVE it by the way) but I was wondering, how long does the number porting process take?
    I ported my phone number over from SprintPCS last night at around 7pm EST and right now it's 8am EST and my Palm seems to still be working... Is this normal?
    I'm still receiving incoming calls to my Palm, Text messages to my Palm, but yet I can do outgoing calls from my iphone... I'm kinda confused...
    I mean I received the text on my iphone from sprint telling me: "Welcome to AT&T" as well as receiving the e-mail saying my new phone number is the same one I've had for 6 years now... Is 13 hours considered normal?
    Thanx! :-D

    QueenYvette,
    If it continues to be an issue tomorrow, I would recomend calling again, and getting in contact with AT&T's porting department. They are familiar with resolving any issues that may arise.
    Powering off both phones is to make sure that the old phone is not maintaining an active connection with the old carrier that can interfere with the last steps of the porting process. If at all possible its a good idea to leave the old phone powered off, and restart the new phone about once an hour so that it will resync with the towers.
    Hope this helps,
    Nathan C.

  • How good is the Airport Express inbuilt Digital to Analogue converter?

    How good is the Airport Express inbuilt Digital to Analogue converter?
    I have just purchased a 2012 dual band Airport Express which has the combined optical/3.5mm analogue jack audio output.
    This is to connect to my hifi seperate amplifier, which does not have an optical input.
    This gives me a couple of options
    a) just use a standard 3.5mm jack to phono cable (and use the built in DAC in the airpor express)
    or
    b) purchase a seperate DAC to convert the optical from the Express into phono and connect that to the amplifier
    I will be sending 250-320kbps music to the airport express wirelessly.
    Will I see much/any benefit in sound quality with option B vs option A?
    I ask because option A is free (I already have the cable) and option B will be around £20-£30 depending on which DAC I were to buy (I would also need a new TOSlink optical cable).
    These are the sort of DACs I was looking at.
    Thanks, Chipstix

    How good is the Airport Express inbuilt Digital to Analogue converter?
    Please check out this stereophile article on the earlier AirPort Express. I understand that the newest version may use basically similar audio hardware.
    I will be sending 250-320kbps music to the airport express wirelessly.
    The AirPort Express Base Station (AX) works only with iTunes v4.6+ and is limited to music files that iTunes can read; ie, 16-bit data only. (An exception is you can use a third-party product like Rogue Amoeba's AirFoil to stream other non-iTunes sources.) These data, though, can be in any file format that iTunes recognizes, from lossy MP3s at the low-quality end of the spectrum to Apple Lossless and lossless AIF or WAV files at the high end. It is also important to note that the AX functions only at a 44.1kHz sample rate. When you play 32kHz or 48kHz data, iTunes sample-rate-converts the data in real time before sending it to the AX.
    iTunes uses a QuickTime CODEC to convert audio files to Apple Lossless, and then, uses AirPlay to send them to the AX. In turn, the AX uses built-in software that converts the Apple Lossless to an Encoded Digital Audio format. From there, digital audio is sent to a optical transceiver to convert the electrical signal to an optical one before sending it to the innermost part of the audio port. As you already know for analog, the AX has a built-in DAC to convert the Encoded Digital Audio to Analog which is sent to the same audio port.
    One operational glitch is the fact that, as the AX doesn't have a local clock circuit, when the incoming data is interrupted, as it is when you change songs in iTunes, there is no longer a digital output to feed the DAC, which loses lock as a result. Using an external DAC, which may offer better audio performance, may have issues with this glitch. Some DACs are more sensitive than others.
